Actually, “Chueca” doesn’t mean that in Spain; the word is an “americanismo.” The neighborhood is actually named for a Spanish composer, Federico Chueca.

I don’t know about Chueca’s history but the Royal Spanish Academy does define “chueca” as not straight (well, it is literally defined as “torcida” in 2/4 of its meanings but it can be translated as bent or something like that).

I’m not saying the word doesn’t mean “not straight,” I’m saying that the word isn’t used in Spain. If you look at the definition you mention, you’ll see all the entries are marked as specific to Latin American countries.
